Donut Shop · Mid-City West · 68 tips and reviews
Bullfrog & Baum: This is NOT your typical donut place—it’s better! Top favorites include: Chocolate Banana (which happens to be gluten-free), Blueberry Earl Gray and Strawberry Buttermilk.
Jacklyn Keyser: The best...Strawberry Buttermilk or if you're Vegan, Passionfruit Coconut.
DailyCandy: The fluffy confections are like the donut’s hipper, healthier cousin, baked fresh daily. Choose from flavors like strawberry buttermilk, maple bacon, and the must-try banana and chocolate.

Courtney Vanasse: Short rib Benedict and gamberetti risotto complete me.
Jessica Chong: Eggs benedict extra hollandaise sauce on the side with a coffee. The perfect breakfast food... I've been getting the same thing for over 10 years and you can't go wrong.
Lauren Fox: Best homemade raspberry jam and biscuits! Highly recommend!
Michael Simpson: I've tried to like this place, but just can't. Thumbs up to the biscuits, clean bathrooms, and valet parking. Thumbs down to lukewarm food and bringing the check while you are still eating.
Emily Belden: Very modern and trendy with a boutique feel. Moscow mules are bomb!
Tony Xerri: The rooms were clean, chic, and had HBO with an HDMI output for all you traveling with an XBox or PS3. Service was flawless and guests also get free access to the L.A. Fitness at Fairfax and Ogden.

Mister Anderson: Went for brunch and Spanish Fried Chicken and Waffles were amazing. Excellent staff and customer service

ZAGAT: If you don’t have a reservation, try the bar.
